Ronald Allan "Ron" Luce is the co-founder and president of Teen Mania Ministries which was located in Garden Valley, Texas. Together with his wife Katie, Ron founded Teen Mania in 1986 and led the organization until its bankruptcy in 2015.
One of Ron's early involvements was with Willie George Ministries, where he was involved in the Fire By Nite Christian variety show that was distributed to subscribers, and syndicated on television.
Luce also hosted weekend Acquire the Fire youth rallies and ministry clinics in large venues nationwide, many attracting tens of thousands of teens and youth workers. He also hosted a weekly TV show, Acquire the Fire, telecast on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and other Christian television stations. Training and ministry experience was provided for young adults wishing to enter into youth (and other) ministries, as interns in the Honor Academy. Luce expanded his operations in 2005 by starting the Battle Cry Campaign.
Teen Mania filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in December 2015, following financial difficulties and criticism from former interns and employees.
Hannah Luce, born September 21, 1989 , daughter of Ron Luce, was on board a Cessna 401 aircraft which went down about an hour and a half after takeoff on Friday, May 11, 2012, 9 miles (14 km) west of Chanute, Kansas. The plane was flying from Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport in Jenks, Oklahoma, to Council Bluffs Municipal Airport in Iowa. Luce was one of five passengers with direct connections to Oral Roberts University, along with pilot Luke Sheets, of Ephraim, Wisconsin Stephen Luth, of Muscatine, Iowa, Garrett Coble, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and former marine Austin Anderson, of Ringwood, Oklahoma. Out of the five people on the plane, Luce and Anderson were the only survivors. Anderson died on May 12, 2012 from burns over 90 percent of his body. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and NTSB are currently investigating the crash. The FAA said the crash occurred about 7 miles (11 km) north-west of Chanute, which is 124 miles (200 km) south-west of the Kansas City area.
